Pediatrician, nurse practitioner to take over arrested Clyde doctor’s office

A pediatrician and nurse practitioner will begin seeing patients at the former office of Dr. David Blasczak next week, Finger Lakes Health announced Friday.

Blasczak, 69, was arrested last week after investigators say Dr. David Blasczak took explicit pictures of his young patients in his Clyde office. They say he told parents he did this for research. Prosecutors say he also bought thousands of sexually explicit images of children. He was fired from Finger Lakes Health last week last Friday.

Dr. Grace Freier, a pediatrician, and Michelle Durham, a certified Family Nurse Practitioner, will begin seeing patients at the Clyde Family Health Center next week. The office will be contacting all patients with upcoming appointments.
